population are just fall asleep or has been gathering witness accounts of what the people of bani walid are going through. these are the pictures the world has chosen not to see dismembered bodies random killings dying women and children for three weeks the libyan city of bani walid has been under siege armed militia gangs patrolled the streets losing houses bulldozing properties and shooting indiscriminately. almost of almost buying machinery by tankers nobody nor connection there is no communication no i think that is the real world. was not able to. connect with each other people are so concerned for the safety of their families they don't want to be identified you know meant that it was chaotic challis and they fired at harbors and shouted indiscriminately more than two thousand families have fled seven families are with us at the moment and yesterday we fled to the valley but they were firing attacks even their their families who

died in the shelling children died to their frighted by women and children the straight to the head it started with the order for the army to use all means necessary to rid the former gadhafi stronghold of all his supporters there were accused of kidnappings and murdering a former militia man credited with capturing the libyan leader last year i would misses and doctors on the scene say people are being fired at with gas folder shells r.t. sources report seeing militia trying to hide and remove the bodies of those killed by chemical weapons i can confirm that these militias used internationally prohibited weapons they used phosphorous bombs and nerve gas we have documented all these in videos we could the missiles they used on the white phosphorus raining down from these missiles many people died without being wounded shot they died as a result of gases the red cross is to me it's more than twenty five thousand people have so far been made homeless with fiji's who in the confusion of the past few days trying to return home after the army announced the city had full and they're

now stranded on the desert highway in fear and panic. look at this. this good this gun and this people know this thing now why you don't know one week now this is the outside and didn't know what they were doing when i was living when i think when when one of the government i saw explosions and rockets above our heads i saw the dad but the general national council denies the killings despite the evidence to the country where the government force a. place where i would go of course they will be. flown mistakes but the whole picture of the whole thing is being handled better. we are taking care of all the family and it's not only the libyan authorities that are in denial western governments are mainstream media have also chosen to be

silent prompting the charge of double standards to be leveled at them but when it is. militias who were. criticizing militias the chaotic scenes of a throwback to the long running rivalry between wizards of bani walid and misrata a city khadafi laid siege to they also show the weakness of the new government's authority of a former rebel militias which always had legions but essentially do what they like . power so it's a leech is a message to all of them across libya wherever they are whoever you are and however strong you are and whoever your backers are the revolution should win. it's the years since independence came to this oil rich country but little seems to have changed for ordinary libyans many of the crimes gadhafi was accused of are now

being laid at the foot of the general national council a reminder that for many the arab spring turned out to be a very cold winter here are two beirut. but russia has raised the issue at the u.n. urging members to take peaceful steps to stop the bloody assault on the people of bani walid the most you know ever was sucked down by the u.s. which spearheaded the humanitarian war against libya's toppled leader moammar gadhafi last year are just more important i has more from new york. while the united nations has focused much attention this week on the ongoing conflicts in syria and mali russia's efforts to address the death and destruction taking place in libya was blocked by the united states washington refused to support a security council press statement drafted by russia calling for the resolution of violence in bani walid which has been under siege for weeks the u.s. delegation cited a further need for consultations meanwhile the russian ambassador to the u.n.

the tali churkin says that it's quite strange the u.s. would have a lock a press statement condemning the use of force in dealing with libya's political problems just one month after a deadly attack in benghazi claimed the lives of four diplomats embassador churkin said it is difficult in this case to explain the u.s. delegations actions in rational terms now russia's draft press statement calls on the libyan authorities to take urgent steps to resolve the conflict by peaceful means and to preserve the rights of all libyan citizens it also expressed concern about the significant escalation of violence in and around the city of bani walid libyan forces launched a full scale it's not in town more than three weeks ago accusing it of being controlled by some orders to former libyan leader moammar gadhafi gadhafi was overthrown in early two thousand and eleven at that time western media outlets made libya for the troops today as the fighting and body will leave continues most

mainstream news outlets have remained silent not reporting on what some are calling a humanitarian catastrophe. in new york. well dozens of people with friends and family inside bani walid rallied in central london earlier this week to try and force the british government to pay attention to the ongoing assault freelance journalist morris herman however says the demonstrators are under no illusions. just people in london demonstrating downing street. really they've all lost relatives during this whole conflict over the last year they won david cameron they won the british government to interfere and stop what's going on which and they know it's hopeless they know there's no chance that he will do anything and in fact he's on the opposite side nevertheless they were there to to shout slogans and ask you know did the british government will try and intervene and help so there was an under mood of tragedy in everyone because there's all this

uncertainty about bani walid and most of them have relatives there ninety five percent of them are from the war followed tribe and bani walid is their home town. the. well this week saw the anniversary of one of the most radical steps the e.u. took to find the financial crisis european leaders agreed on a massive debt write off for greece and on boosting the block's balance fund but as artists our first reports the economic contagion is far from gone with its main symptom nations outrage still plaguing the e.u. . hitting back at a stare it's a people all over a year at the continuing to fight against this a measures that are biting deeper and deeper into the public and private of many usa nations clashes with police break out in the north of italy of thousands marched against the government in the

capital reign in what was dubbed anti monte de similar things we witnessed in the great west bank is turned on the us to rally against never ending government cuts we feel like we are number of percentage by our government that they are doing this that we are no we don't agree with them and we are clearly in them on the diamond but they don't listen so they don't care as it is sturdy anger spread across year thousands of people have taken to the street and it's not just in madrid for in greece to italy big you're using countries and small this is the euro crisis that doesn't discriminate affecting people of all ages and from all walks of life. here in spain the unemployment figures now top a whopping twenty five percent this is a younger generation that's been hit the hardest you look at the stats for the country you see the half the sixteen to twenty four year olds in the house of work

everything using presumed unemployment poverty. the first. in people here. they are no more taking the right decisions is going to really. people is going to really angry or because of the police offices. dividing the protesters from the governments that more and more they're growing too lonely bit of g.t. you'll find many of them joining the march is even lower enforcement a feeling the pinch the need amongst many protesters is grand they've been here many times before and still they tell us nothing seems to change. is actually not you who cut back spending but you invest more in the economy to invest in growth to make sure that there are jobs and the only way to ultimately get out of this is to grow your way out of it not just cut your way out of that so one of the main arguments of the people here is that it is if you actually listen to the

people who are not too good for the interest from abroad you will come up with a lot more sensible a lot more rational response to this crisis a dogmatic insistence on austerity cuts in successive governments across the isolated from their electorates and amongst the euro members themselves divisions a widening a spain's witnessing fierce independence leverage catalonia in the basque country those demanding freedom and electing separatist politicians meanwhile greece is fighting an upsurge of radical nationalist sentiment that's leading to the grace of far right and fascist grapes scenes like these make it hard to believe that earlier this month the e.u. was awarded the nobel peace prize bringing stability and unity to the previously want to own continent some protesters are calling it a social must and with a massive euro wide strike planned for later this month it seems as long as things

continue as they are there will be no peace here so if the r.t. . still ahead here on our team putting out the cease fire the fragile truce in syria's civil conflict collapses from the start as the country is shaken by fresh terror attacks. and drone drama reaches the skies over america u.s. officials are questioning a popular pakistani politician off his fight apparently over his opposition to washington strong. those stories and much more coming up for you after a short break. nineteen iranian channels have been banned in the countries that's called iran for not tolerating free speech among other things well played lads well played i love

the smell of hypocrisy in the morning personally a bit of censorship doesn't bother me that much because there has always been censorship and there were always be censorship if there are any words or symbols or opinions that could get you bumped off the air or legal trouble in your country then guess what you have censorship sorry to say it but that's how it is i don't mind a country saying that there are something so antithetical to their way of life that it must be banned i'm fine with that that's your business in your country and you should be able to protect your culture and your values but the lie to me and tell me that you live censorship free when you don't it's your choice you let the iranian channels back on the air or come out of the closet and admit you believe in restricted speech but that's just my opinion. what will change when america picks this president made muslim rage walking the

around times wrote pushing china russia as occupying hunger spreads to two parties still dictating lose their. selection of clothes going. to the six parties. to get. food. do we speak your language anything about the will or not of the. news programs and documentaries in spanish matters to you breaking news that will turn the day of angola's stories. so you hear.

the spanish find out more visit actuality. live from moscow where former pakistani cricket lives and turned politician imraan

khan was pulled off a plane and interrogated by u.s. officials for over two hours on his way to new york from toronto he was led away for questioning over his vocal opposition to america's drone strikes in pakistan he now do demands an apology from washington and one that he is unlikely to get are reports. killing the civilians of one country in the name of security of another the united states has been doing just that for over eighty years and pakistan. there are terrorists holed up in those mountains. who murdered three thousand americans they are plotting to strike again federally administered tribal areas burn bright red on the map that's where u.s. drone attacks have been killing thousands of people claiming the majority of them are militant extremists a study led by scholars from new york and stanford university's found that only around two percent of the total number of deaths were militants among the remaining

several thousand victims of don't attacks hundred seventy five were children the fact of the matter remains the us has been carrying out military operations in a country that it is not at war with and the international community says almost nothing about actions which are illegal by international standard the rights to have thought god god in the sentence the tox the i actually was i think the was was the was. back in the day islamabad and washington were all smiles each seeking to benefit from cooperation centered on dealing with the persistent taliban problem though there was a cool off in their relationship in the one nine hundred seventy s. when pakistan began working on its nuclear bomb the vows were renewed in the wake of the two thousand one world trade center bombing and then suing the war on terror

presently however there seems to be no love lost in this match and on strikes on. counterproductive but. good and on the phone on strikes. again. it's not just the buzzing of the drones however that threatens pakistan's integrity but was great as one of the greatest feats of the fight against terrorism this as a nation of islam a bin laden was a military operation carried out in secret and without knowledge of the pakistani authorities. then came the killing of twenty four pakistani soldiers in the u.s. led air strike forcing islamabad to close down the nato supply route for seven months it was reopened only after an official apology from the u.s. secretary of state with pakistan itself calls to cut off corporation or submission

as many see it to the u.s. get louder with every passing week pakistanis believe the united states may be giving a lot of money to their government but it is at the same time taking away the country's sovereignty and killing its people in islamabad even a ghost go. a feverish week in the american presidential race as candidates burst into a sprint for the last leg of the campaign barack obama and mitt romney held their final debate heavy on foreign policy though once again both candidates plans bore striking similarities and on top of that former cia cia officer ray mcgovern sighs there was a lot simply left out. obama should be able to say that our ambassadors are going to be killed or other representatives are going to be murdered unless we change our policy toward that part of the world that's policy be defined by the need for oil and the need to protect what are perceived to be the interests of israel unless we change those policies we will never succeed in being

able to protect our our embassies and our other diplomatic establishment about afghanistan probably we're smart say it's a fool's errand we've got to get out of there we were wrong we ought to bring our troops right back now why can't he say that or why is it not likely they do say that because no politician in the united states can afford the slightest risk of seeming soft on things that are described as the war on terrorism it's that simple . well the republican versus democrat debate held few surprises and even less diversity not so the third party debate largely ignored by the mainstream media for other u.s. presidential candidates gathered together to lay out their own vastly different plans for america here's just a little of what they had to say. the president has assumed dictatorial rights to put us in prison at his pleasure without charge or without trial we are

on the road toward to him and that's not an exaggeration the biggest threat to our national security is the fact that we're bankrupt we need to retrench rather than trying to be the policeman of the world we need to put an end to the use of drones and actually lead not to lead this development of a new arms race but to lead in an international treaty and the convention to permanently banned the use of drones we're printing and borrowing money to the tune of forty three cents out of every dollar we spend. sixteen trillion dollars is bearing down on us and as johnson say if we could well be like germany after world war. well arts you spoke exclusively to a number of the candidates taking part in those debates one of them was dr jill stein from the green party of america earlier this month she was arrested for

protesting the first presidential debate she told us why she went for most of the american public doesn't even know that there are other candidates running so that's why i went to the gateway to the debate at hofstra university two weeks ago to demand that the debate be opened up and i was arrested and handcuffed to a chair for eight hours unfortunately this is what our democracy is looking like we are squandering trillions of dollars right now on wars for oil that we don't need on tax breaks for the wealthy and on bailouts for wall street forty billion a month now being spent to bail out the bankers once again so we can stop all that the establishment parties are quaking in their boots that word will get out and in fact if it does there are enough people to turn the results of this election on its head is that going to happen i'm not holding my breath but if we're ever going to win it we've got to begin it. the latest peace afeard for syria fell apart this

week with at least two terror bombings ripping across the state the largest attack took place in the capital damascus where at least five people were killed and many more injured in a car bomb explosion this comes during a proposed four day ceasefire to mark the muslim holiday and which for the rebel groups such as the radical mosque for. objective out right now another call to carry on fighting came from the al qaida leader who also criticized the leaders for loose grip on the syrian regime international affairs analyst les jones says the true plan was the truth plan i should say was doomed to fail. you know the government in syria is full and. it including the united states. took it so well there are many of the countries like france your money is providing the libyan support so they really don't talk for we know that they're providing procure that's will they don't want repeats they want to remove the

government of syria from both for sure but for the us side. they believe that the rebels believe that they've got the momentum they've got the support from the outside world and they say that they're not going to abide by the states but it's because they haven't been pressured by the like them perhaps they have even been told not to support this use for. ukraine is said to elect a new parliament a new voting system isn't place allowing room for surprises as artie's alexy garces king reports a former boxing champion and his party may end up with enough weight to make or break the opposition. after what was the most expensive election campaign in the history of solver in ukraine worth more than two billion us dollars polling stations have opened across the country thirty six million voters in ukraine will elect its new parliament this election is revolutionary in many ways. the voting system itself has changed dramatically now the voting takes place both on

proportional seats in parliament and majority very seats in parliament which are split into now in the first part in the proportional receipts nobody has any doubts that the ruling party the party of regions will eventually gain the majority of the votes but the biggest surprise yet may come in the majority of the seats where nobody can predict the result there are many independent candidates running for the majority seeds and they eventually could have final say inside the parliament and will be able to choose which lines of parties they will be joining in the new coalition the opposition in ukraine as already declared its intent to impeach the president if they gain a majority in parliament in one way or another the biggest dark horse of this election is the former boxer who is now finished his career heavyweight champion of the world now turned politician vitale klitschko and many say that it will be. have

the final say in the coalition in the forming of a new coalition inside the parliament for now klitschko has said that he will not be forming a coalition with the ruling party and the communist but so far he hasn't yet signed an agreement with the opposition that he will be joining them in the new parliament so this leaves a huge intrigue on what the new coalition inside the parliament will be and whether this new coalition will have enough seats in parliament to impeach president and dramatically change the outlook of the power structures in this country certainly we'll we'll be bringing all the latest results in this rather interesting vote as we get them. in just a couple of minutes our. economies mark little what about what he thinks should be done to heal europe's finances stay with.

if you're passing through rushes to veer region you really can walk on the wild side thousands of kilometers of unspoilt countryside make up an area where it's still possible to live off the land such spectacular scenery makes it a paradise for fisherman and provides a business opportunity for hunters there are defined hunting seasons in russia but lax enforcement means many animals are killed out of the allotted times which can leave young animals orphaned and unable to survive the heart of just us forest provides a sanctuary for the most famous beast in russia it's home to a group who rescue often bear cubs and raise them when they're old enough to fend for themselves the cubs a target taken to a remote location and released back into the wild but it's not just bears who find a haven here this is wolf island here wolf pups have been captured by hunters or bought from zoos have a second chance at life and conservationists have a unique opportunity to observe them these walls are all around four months old and

they'll stay in this area for up to three years then most will go back to the wild for good just viewing them from the car was an experience in itself but then after a bit of a bumpy ride came an opportunity i just couldn't pass up and this is what i was hoping for when i heard i was coming to a place called wolf i had a chance to get close and personal with the locals and it's these guys are going to act as foster parents but the next generation will come here using the older walls as surrogate parents has already proved a successful technique. every year i place infant wolves with one year old wolf cubs whose parental instinct is totally shaped and they take them as their own cubs it's going to continue to take time and money to rehabilitate the wolfs reputation in russia. but the keepers here hope their research and dedication. remains a place where visitors can truly understand.
